"In other words, even if most of the subjects died but had their tumors shrunk through aggressive treatments, the study would be hailed as a great success and a medical breakthrough. Any such attempt to treat the human body as if it were a machine that just responds to mechanical or chemical manipulation is bound to have serious setbacks. Such an approach is not only unscientific, but also unethical and potentially harmful. For many cancer patients whose immune systems are already compromised, just one dose of chemotherapy or radiation can turn out to be fatal. Senior cancer physician, Dr." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"A good book on the topic is The UV Advantage: The medical breakthrough that Shows How to Harness the Power of the Sun for Your Health by Michael F. Holick, PhD, MD. He has published hundreds of studies on the beneficial aspects of the sun, claiming that they are not advertised because no one can make money from the sun! Another is Into the Light ?Tomorrow's Medicine Today! by Dr. William Campbell Douglass, MD. And what good does it do to stop eating cooked food if you are cooking your brain with cellular phone radiation?" - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"It is safe to assume that much of the reading public concluded that this was an important medical breakthrough and requested CRP tests from their doctors. What's wrong with this story? The research was spun to make a very small diagnostic improvement look like an important medical "breakthrough" and in the process distract attention from the things that can be easily done to decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease. The NEJM article reported that the women with the highest CRP levels had 2.3 times more risk of developing cardiovascular disease than the women with the lowest levels." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"Tim Johnson on ABC's 20/20 program, host Barbara Walters expressed amazement at this medical breakthrough. Thousands of cancer patients around the world have now successfully been treated with electrochemical therapy (EChT) using Dr. Nor-denstrom's BCEC concepts. There are only a few limited trials being conducted in America today. In what may be one of the most fundamental paradigm shifts in medicine since William Harvey discovered blood circulation 350 years ago, America is taking a back seat in research. Unable to secure funding and support in America, Dr." - Alan E. Smith, UnBreak Your Health: The Complete Guide to Complementary & Alternative Therapies (Get the book.)

"Newsweek, boasting that the "medical breakthrough" had already been prescribed for so many conditions in addition to depression that "even healthy people have started asking for it." And, New York magazine called Prozac?a "wonder drug," while the National Enquirer described it as a "miracle diet pill". On yet another cover of Newsweek, it was announced, "Beyond Prozac: How Science Will Let You Change Your Personality with a Pill." It does sound a lot like another "wonder drug" - LSD, which Eli Lilly also blessed us with, and aggressively promoted back in 1956!" - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.) "Doses ranging from 150 to 600 IU of vitamin E were used, with 300 IU per day appearing to be optimal (The Yeast Connection - A medical breakthrough, William Crook, 1983/1986). Keep in mind that vitamin E can be easily depleted by alcohol, antibiotics, aspirin, laxatives, estrogen and oral contraceptives, NSAIDS (i.e. ibuprofen), and all cholesterol-lowering drugs. Always take the natural vitamin E. Avoid the one with an "L" following the "D". Just think of the "L" as standing for "built in a Lab"." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.) "It then appears, to the general public, as though it's a "medical breakthrough," rather than the promotion of a new drug, which it actually is. Once pharmaceutical companies saturate the market with drugs for existing conditions, the objective is then to create new diseases. For example, the "acid reflux disease," which is not actually a disease at all, but just an easily resolvable condition, (and without the use of drugs)! The same applies to all the new psychiatric disorders, which have been conveniently "invented"." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

"Whether about the alleged link between the MMR vaccine and autism, ot the latest medical breakthrough or disaster, pharmaceutical stories are necessarily simplified because for people with no framework of basic scientific knowledge, ideas have nothing to associate with and are lost. People can only build on what makes sense to them. Indeed, it has been said the medicines business can never be transparent to the masses because it cannot escape this fundamental obstacle of widespread scientific illiteracy." - Jacky Law, Big Pharma: Exposing the Global Healthcare Agenda (Get the book.)

"This simple assessment has been a medical breakthrough. A stool is collected and mailed overnight to a lab where it is evaluated for digestion of protein, vegetable matter and starch, and fatty acids. Cutting-edge markers for intestinal immune function such as calprotectin and eosinophil protein X are included in the test. Exocrine pancreatic function (that part associated with digestion) is measured by an analyte called pancreatic elastase 1." - Elson M.

"Three years later, in February 1995, the ABC News program 20/20 opened a show this way: "Well, now a medical breakthrough that is changing the lives and the images of thousands of Americans. They are people with a serious problem—they are obese—and that description now applies to more of us than ever before. Obese people often say that they can't help it, that they feel driven to eat beyond control. Well, now there is research that backs them up and, even more exciting, a new treatment that seems to do for obese people what they can't do all by themselves. . . ." - Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele, Critical Condition: How Health Care in America Became Big Business (Get the book.) "Usually, each new development is presented as a medical breakthrough with little or no attention paid to the potential harmful consequences or whether the supposed benefits outweigh the costs. Such was the case in 2000 when TV and newspapers described the full-body scan as a cutting-edge test that "can reveal diseases and heart problems before they can become deadly." The torrent of publicity led to the building of more clinics where the scans could be performed." - Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele, Critical Condition: How Health Care in America Became Big Business (Get the book.)

"The economic interest of the pharmaceutical industry itself is the main reason that no medical breakthrough has been made for the cure of most common diseases such as cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, heart failure, diabetes, cancer, strokes, osteoporosis, and why these diseases continue on an epidemic scale worldwide. 5) For the same economic reasons, the pharmaceutical industry has now formed an international cartel by the code name "CODEX," with the aim to outlaw any health information in connection with vitamins and to limit free access to natural therapies on a worldwide scale." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.)

"Joel Fuhrman's book, outlining a perfectly rational, straightforward, and sustainable diet, I believe we are witnessing a medical breakthrough. If you give this diet your complete commitment, there is no question in my mind that it will work for you. In creating this plan, Dr. Fuhrman, a world expert in nutrition and obesity research, has gone beyond the dietary guidelines set up by the National Institutes of Health and the American Heart Association. Importantly, Eat to Live takes these nationally endorsed standards a quantum step further." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat to Live: The Revolutionary Formula for Fast and Sustained Weight Loss (Get the book.)

"Over the next few days I devoured The Yeast Connection: A medical breakthrough, by William Crook, MD, and The Yeast Syndrome, by John Trowbridge, MD, and Morton Walker, DPM. I felt as if I was reading about myself. The Yeast Syndrome made the connection between mercury amalgams and Candida even clearer. It said that when small amounts of mercury from dental fillings are swallowed, an overgrowth of Candida albicans renders it an even more toxic and potent poison than it would be alone. I became convinced that I had found the answer to why I was so sick. More accurately, the answer found me." - Pat Sullivan, Wellness Piece by Piece: How a Successful Entrepreneur Discovered the Pieces to His Chronic Health Puzzle (Get the book.)

"Whenever a medical breakthrough is announced, researchers' fame, institutions' reputations, and companies' profits are likely to be at stake.6 Skepticism by both reporters and the public should be heightened. Joe Palca, of National Public Radio, said, "We could probably ignore 99% of the science news in a given year because its intrinsic value won't be known for many years, or may not be that great."2 Or as a physician-editorialist suggested, "Hot findings must be handled with care." - Richard A.

"What I discovered is a medical breakthrough that will put the science of physiology in charge of the future of medicine. It will steer it away from the grip of the pharmaceutical industry and its malicious practice of using the sick in our society as cash cows. I have discovered the errors of basic scientific judgment on which the entire structure of modern medicine has been constructed—in the process killing millions and making tens of millions of people sicker because society thought we doctors knew what we were doing." - Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, Obesity Cancer & Depression: Their Common Cause & Natural Cure (Get the book.)
